Description

Vehicle management methods and related devices Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle authentication technology, and in particular to a vehicle management method and related apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the widespread application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence in the vehicle field, intelligent vehicles are developing rapidly and their applications are becoming increasingly widespread. Therefore, vehicle management has become crucial.

[0003] In routine vehicle management tasks such as checking for counterfeit license plates and verifying vehicle color changes, a significant amount of manual work is still required. Law enforcement officers must complete the entire process by stopping vehicles on-site, checking vehicle documents, and verifying them through a platform. This process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, and can also disrupt normal traffic flow in situations with high traffic volume.

[0004] Therefore, a feasible solution is urgently needed to improve vehicle management efficiency.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application provides a vehicle management method and related apparatus, which can improve vehicle management efficiency.

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle management method, which is applied to a vehicle management system including a first vehicle and management equipment. The vehicle management method includes:

[0008] The first vehicle receives a first message, which includes a first vehicle identification number (VIN) and a first certificate. The first VIN is a vehicle identification number assigned to the first vehicle by a first vehicle manufacturer, which is the manufacturer that produces the first vehicle. The first certificate includes an equipment certificate corresponding to a first component of the first vehicle. The first certificate is issued based on the root certificate of the first vehicle manufacturer and is used to verify the legitimacy of the first component. There is a first correspondence between the first VIN and the first certificate, which is used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0009] The management device sends a second message to the first vehicle, which requests the vehicle information of the first vehicle.

[0010] In response to the second message, the first vehicle sends a third message to the management device, which includes the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate.

[0011] In this embodiment of the application, a vehicle management method is provided. The vehicle management method is applied to a vehicle management system. A first vehicle in the vehicle management system receives a first message from a first vehicle manufacturer and a second message from a management device. In response to the second message, the first vehicle sends a third message to the management device. The legitimacy of the first vehicle is verified through message interaction between the first vehicle and the management device. The verification process does not require a large amount of manual work, thereby realizing intelligent vehicle verification and improving vehicle management efficiency.

[0012] The first vehicle identification number (VIN) is assigned to the first vehicle by the first vehicle manufacturer. The VIN is a set of characters assigned to a vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer to identify it. Optionally, the first VIN can be written into all or some of the important components of the first vehicle. The first certificate is an equipment certificate issued by the first vehicle manufacturer to the first component in the first vehicle based on the first vehicle manufacturer's root certificate. It indicates that the first component in the first vehicle is a component manufactured by the first vehicle manufacturer, and therefore, the first certificate can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first component. There is a first correspondence between the first VIN and the first certificate. Since the equipment certificate issued by the manufacturer to each component in the vehicle is unique, this first correspondence is also unique, and therefore can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle. Optionally, this first correspondence can be maintained by the first vehicle manufacturer.

[0013] Through the embodiments of this application, the first vehicle, the management device, and the first vehicle manufacturer in the vehicle management system interact with each other via messages. When the first vehicle receives a second message from the management device requesting to obtain the vehicle information of the first vehicle, it can send a third message to the management device. The first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate included in the third message is unique. The first certificate of the first component of the first vehicle and the first vehicle identification number of the first vehicle can be used as credentials when applying for digital identity, ensuring the binding relationship between the first component of the first vehicle and the vehicle (or the first vehicle identification number). Thus, the legitimacy of the first vehicle can be verified by using the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate. Moreover, the entire verification process does not require a large amount of manual work, thereby realizing intelligent vehicle verification and improving vehicle management efficiency.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the vehicle management method further includes:

[0015] The management device verifies the legitimacy of the first certificate based on the root certificate of the first vehicle manufacturer, and verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle based on the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate.

[0016] This embodiment provides a possible specific implementation for verifying the legality of a first vehicle. Optionally, the verification scenario can be the verification of the vehicle's legality when a user applies for vehicle registration (or applies for a digital identity) with the vehicle management department after purchasing the vehicle. Specifically, since the first certificate is issued based on the root certificate of the first vehicle manufacturer, the management device can verify the legality of the first certificate based on the root certificate of the first vehicle manufacturer. Furthermore, since the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number (VIN) and the first certificate is unique, the management device can verify the correctness of the first correspondence between the first VIN and the first certificate by interacting with the first vehicle manufacturer. Through this embodiment, the first certificate of the first component of the first vehicle and the first vehicle identification number of the first vehicle can be used as credentials when applying for a digital identity. While verifying the legality of the first component of the first vehicle, the binding relationship between the first component and the vehicle (or the first VIN) can be ensured, thereby verifying the legality of the first vehicle.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the legitimacy of the first vehicle is verified based on a first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate, including:

[0018] The management device verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle after verifying the validity of the first certificate and the correctness of the first correspondence; or,

[0019] If the management device verifies that the first certificate is invalid or the first correspondence is incorrect, it will verify that the first vehicle is invalid.

[0020] In this embodiment, if the management device verifies that the first certificate is legitimate and the first correspondence is correct, it can determine that the first component in the first vehicle is a legitimate component manufactured by the original manufacturer and has not undergone illegal modification, thus verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle. Conversely, if the management device verifies that the first certificate is invalid or the first correspondence is incorrect, it can determine that the first component in the first vehicle is not a legitimate component manufactured by the original manufacturer and may have undergone illegal operations such as modification or replacement, thus verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle. Through this application embodiment, the first certificate of the first component of the first vehicle and the first vehicle identification number of the first vehicle can be used as credentials when applying for digital identity, verifying the legitimacy of the first component of the first vehicle while ensuring the binding relationship between the first component and the first vehicle (or the first vehicle identification number), thereby verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the vehicle management method further includes:

[0022] If the management device verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle, it issues a first digital identity to the first vehicle based on the root certificate of the management device. The first digital identity is used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0023] In this embodiment, the first vehicle applies to the vehicle management department (management device) for a license plate (or applies for a digital identity). After verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle, the management device issues a first digital identity to the first vehicle based on the root certificate of the management department. The first digital identity proves the legitimacy of the first vehicle. The first digital identity can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle after it obtains a legal license plate and is driven on the road.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the first message also includes the root certificate for the management device; the vehicle management method further includes:

[0025] The first vehicle verifies the legitimacy of the first digital identity based on the root certificate of the management device;

[0026] The first vehicle writes the first digital identity after verifying its legitimacy.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first message received by the first vehicle from the first vehicle manufacturer may also include the root certificate of the management device. If the first vehicle applies for a digital identity from the management device and obtains a first digital identity issued by the management device, the first vehicle can further verify the legitimacy of the first digital identity based on the root certificate of the management device. If the legitimacy of the first digital identity is verified, it is then written into the system. Through this embodiment, the legitimacy of the organization issuing the first digital identity can be verified, ensuring vehicle information security.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the first digital identity and / or the first vehicle identification number is stored in the first component.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first digital identity and / or the first vehicle identification number are stored in the first component, which can bind the first component and the first vehicle. This allows the legitimacy of the first vehicle to be verified by verifying the binding relationship between the first certificate and the first vehicle identification number during the digital identity application stage, and the legitimacy of the first vehicle to be verified by verifying the binding relationship between the first digital identity and the first vehicle identification number during the digital identity usage stage.

[0030] In one possible implementation, a second correspondence exists between the first digital identity and the first vehicle identification number, and the second correspondence is used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0031] In this embodiment, a second correspondence exists between the first digital identity and the first vehicle identification number. Since the digital identity issued by the management device to each vehicle is unique, this second correspondence is also unique. Therefore, the second correspondence can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle during the digital identity usage phase. Optionally, this second correspondence can be maintained by the management device.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the vehicle management method further includes:

[0033] The management device sends a fourth message to the first vehicle, which is used to request management of the first vehicle.

[0034] In response to the fourth message, the first vehicle sends a fifth message to the management device. The fifth message includes a first digital identity and a second vehicle identification number. The second vehicle identification number is a vehicle identification number stored in a second component of the first vehicle, and the first component and the second component are different components in the first vehicle.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first vehicle receives a fourth message from the management device and, in response to the fourth message, sends a fifth message to the management device. The legitimacy of the first vehicle is verified through message interaction between the first vehicle and the management device. This eliminates the need for extensive manual verification during the digital identity usage phase, enabling intelligent vehicle verification and improving vehicle management efficiency. Furthermore, the fifth message sent by the first vehicle includes the second vehicle identification number (VIN) stored in the second component of the first vehicle, rather than the first VIN stored in the first component. By using the VIN stored in other components (different from the first component) as the reporting source when the first vehicle uses its digital identity, this embodiment prevents the use of the original vehicle's legitimate digital identity when the first and / or second components are replaced or modified. This ensures the binding relationship between the component storing the digital identity (the first component) and the vehicle when the first vehicle uses its digital identity, thereby verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the vehicle management method further includes:

[0037] The first vehicle responds to the fourth message and obtains the second vehicle identification number stored in the second component based on the pre-configured first strategy.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first vehicle does not directly report the first vehicle identification number stored in the first component. Instead, it reports a vehicle identification number stored in other components that are different from the first component based on a pre-configured strategy. This can prevent the first vehicle from illegally replacing the first component and using the legitimate digital identity of the original vehicle corresponding to the first component. It ensures the binding relationship between the component (first component) storing the digital identity and the vehicle when the first vehicle uses the digital identity, thereby verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the fourth message is also used to instruct the second component; the vehicle management method further includes:

[0040] The first vehicle responds to the fourth message and retrieves the second vehicle identification number stored in the second component based on the instruction of the fourth message.

[0041] In this embodiment, the management device instructs the first vehicle to report the vehicle identification number stored in a component other than the first component (the second component). This can prevent the first vehicle from illegally replacing the first component and then using the legitimate digital identity of the original vehicle corresponding to the first component. It ensures the binding relationship between the component (the first component) that stores the digital identity and the vehicle when the first vehicle uses the digital identity, thereby verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the vehicle management method further includes:

[0043] The management device verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle based on a second correspondence between the first digital identity and the first vehicle identification number and a third correspondence between the first digital identity and the second vehicle identification number.

[0044] This embodiment provides a possible specific implementation for verifying the legality of a first vehicle. Optionally, the verification scenario can be the verification of the first vehicle's legality after it has obtained a valid license plate and is on the road. Specifically, since the first digital identity and the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the first vehicle are unique, the management device can verify the legality of the first vehicle based on the consistency of the second correspondence between the first digital identity and the first VIN and the third correspondence between the first digital identity and the second VIN. Through this application embodiment, using the VIN stored by other components (other components different from the first component) as the reporting source when the first vehicle uses its digital identity can prevent the original vehicle's legal digital identity from being used when the first component and / or the second component are replaced or modified. This ensures the binding relationship between the component storing the digital identity (the first component) and the vehicle when the first vehicle uses its digital identity, thereby enabling the verification of the first vehicle's legality.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the management device verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle based on a second correspondence between the first digital identity and the first vehicle identification number and a third correspondence between the first digital identity and the second vehicle identification number, including:

[0046] If the management equipment verifies that the second and third correspondences are the same, it verifies that the first vehicle is legitimate; or,

[0047] If the management equipment verifies that the second and third correspondences are different, it verifies that the first vehicle is illegal.

[0048] In this embodiment, if the management device verifies that the second and third correspondences are the same, it can determine that the first and second components in the first vehicle are legitimate components manufactured by the original manufacturer and have not been illegally modified, thus verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle. Conversely, if the management device verifies that the second and third correspondences are different, it can determine that the first and / or second components in the first vehicle are not legitimate components manufactured by the original manufacturer and may have undergone illegal operations such as modification or replacement, thus verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle. Through this application embodiment, using the vehicle identification number stored in other components (other components different from the first component) as the reporting source when the first vehicle uses its digital identity can prevent the original vehicle's legitimate digital identity from being used when the first and / or second components are replaced or modified. This ensures the binding relationship between the component storing the digital identity (the first component) and the vehicle when the first vehicle uses its digital identity, thereby verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the vehicle management method further includes:

[0050] The management device sends a sixth message to the first vehicle, which indicates whether the first vehicle is legitimate or illegitimate.

[0051] The first vehicle responds to the sixth message, indicating whether the first vehicle is legitimate or illegitimate.

[0052] In this embodiment, after verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle, the management device can send a sixth message to the first vehicle, indicating whether the first vehicle is legitimate or illegitimate. In response to the sixth message, the first vehicle can display whether the first vehicle is legitimate or illegitimate through the vehicle's infotainment system or a terminal device connected to the first vehicle, and prompt the user whether there is a security risk to the first vehicle.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the first component includes at least one of the following: a vehicle terminal T-Box and a vehicle interactive system (IVI).

[0054] In this embodiment, the first component may include an in-vehicle terminal, such as a vehicle networking control unit (telematics box, T-Box), and may also include an in-vehicle interactive system, such as an in-vehicle infotainment system (IVI). Optionally, the first component may also be other in-vehicle components with high security, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0055] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle management method applied to a first vehicle. The vehicle management method includes:

[0056] The first vehicle receives a first message, which includes a first vehicle identification number (VIN) and a first certificate. The first VIN is a vehicle identification number assigned to the first vehicle by a first vehicle manufacturer, which is the manufacturer that produces the first vehicle. The first certificate includes an equipment certificate corresponding to a first component of the first vehicle. The first certificate is issued based on the root certificate of the first vehicle manufacturer, which is the manufacturer that produces the first vehicle. The first certificate is used to verify the legitimacy of the first component. There is a first correspondence between the first VIN and the first certificate, which is used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0057] The first vehicle receives a second message, which is used to request the vehicle information of the first vehicle;

[0058] In response to the second message, the first vehicle sends a third message, which includes the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, a vehicle management method is provided. The vehicle management method is applied to a first vehicle. The first vehicle receives a first message from a first vehicle manufacturer and a second message from a management device. In response to the second message, the first vehicle sends a third message to the management device. The legitimacy of the first vehicle is verified through message interaction between the first vehicle and the management device. The verification process does not require a large amount of manual work, thereby realizing intelligent vehicle verification and improving vehicle management efficiency.

[0060] The first vehicle identification number (VIN) is assigned to the first vehicle by the first vehicle manufacturer. The VIN is a set of characters assigned to a vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer to identify it. Optionally, the first VIN can be written into all or some of the important components of the first vehicle. The first certificate is an equipment certificate issued by the first vehicle manufacturer to the first component in the first vehicle based on the first vehicle manufacturer's root certificate. It indicates that the first component in the first vehicle is a component manufactured by the first vehicle manufacturer, and therefore, the first certificate can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first component. There is a first correspondence between the first VIN and the first certificate. Since the equipment certificate issued by the manufacturer to each component in the vehicle is unique, this first correspondence is also unique, and therefore can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle. Optionally, this first correspondence can be maintained by the first vehicle manufacturer.

[0061] Through the embodiments of this application, the first vehicle interacts with the management device and the first vehicle manufacturer via message exchange. When the first vehicle receives a second message from the management device requesting to obtain the vehicle information of the first vehicle, it can send a third message to the management device. The first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate included in the third message is unique. The first certificate of the first component of the first vehicle and the first vehicle identification number of the first vehicle can be used as credentials when applying for digital identity, ensuring the binding relationship between the first component of the first vehicle and the vehicle (or the first vehicle identification number). Thus, the legitimacy of the first vehicle can be verified by using the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate. Moreover, the entire verification process does not require a large amount of manual work, thereby realizing intelligent vehicle verification and improving vehicle management efficiency.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the vehicle management method further includes:

[0160] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0161] The terms "first" and "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0162] The term "embodiment" as used herein means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that, unless otherwise specified or logically conflicting, the terminology and / or descriptions between the various embodiments of this application are consistent and can be mutually referenced, and technical features in different embodiments can be combined to form new embodiments based on their inherent logical relationships.

[0163] It should be understood that in this application, "at least one (item)" means one or more, "more than one" means two or more, "at least two (items)" means two or three or more, and "and / or" is used to describe the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, "A and / or B" can mean: only A exists, only B exists, and A and B exist simultaneously, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. "At least one (item) of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one (item) of a, b, or c can mean: a, b, c, "a and b", "a and c", "b and c", or "a and b and c", where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.

[0164] It should be noted that, in this application, "instruction" can include direct instruction, indirect instruction, explicit instruction, and implicit instruction. When describing a certain instruction information for the purpose of instructing A, it can be understood that the instruction information carries A, directly instructs A, or indirectly instructs A.

[0165] In this application, the information indicated by the instruction information is called the information to be instructed. In specific implementations, there are many ways to indicate the information to be instructed, such as, but not limited to, directly indicating the information to be instructed, such as the information to be instructed itself or its index. It can also indirectly indicate the information to be instructed by indicating other information, where there is a correlation between the other information and the information to be instructed. It can also indicate only a part of the information to be instructed, while the other parts are known or pre-agreed upon. For example, the instruction of specific information can be achieved by using a pre-agreed (e.g., protocol-defined) arrangement of various information, thereby reducing instruction overhead to some extent. The information to be instructed can be sent as a whole or divided into multiple sub-information units, and the sending period and / or timing of these sub-information units can be the same or different. This application does not limit the specific sending method. The sending period and / or timing of these sub-information units can be predefined, for example, according to a protocol, or configured by the transmitting device by sending configuration information to the receiving device.

[0166] It should be noted that in this application, "send" can be understood as "output" and "receive" can be understood as "input". "Send information to A", where "to A" simply indicates the direction of information transmission, and A is the destination, does not limit "send information to A" to a direct transmission over the air interface. "Send information to A" includes sending information directly to A, as well as sending information indirectly to A through a transmitter. Therefore, "send information to A" can also be understood as "outputting information destined for A". Similarly, "receive information from A" indicates that the source of the information is A, including receiving information directly from A, as well as receiving information indirectly from A through a receiver. Therefore, "receive information from A" can also be understood as "inputting information from A".

[0167] This application provides a vehicle management method and related apparatus, applied in the field of vehicle authentication technology, such as a vehicle management method in a scenario of applying for a digital identity and / or a vehicle management method in a scenario of using a digital identity. To better understand the technical solution of this application, the relevant terms and concepts that may be involved in the embodiments of this application are introduced below.

[0168] Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): A unique set of characters assigned to a vehicle by the manufacturer to identify the vehicle itself. The VIN consists of 17 characters, commonly known as a 17-digit code. Correctly interpreting the VIN is crucial for accurately identifying the vehicle model, and consequently, for proper diagnosis and repair.

[0169] The first part of the VIN identifies the vehicle's manufacturer. When this code is assigned to a particular manufacturer, it serves as its identifier. When used in conjunction with the rest of the VIN, the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) is sufficient to ensure the uniqueness of the VIN for all vehicles manufactured worldwide within a 30-year period. The second part of the VIN describes general vehicle characteristics. The final part of the VIN is a set of codes assigned by the manufacturer to distinguish different vehicles. This set of codes, along with the Vehicle Descriptive Section (VDS), is sufficient to ensure the uniqueness of the VIN for every vehicle produced by each manufacturer within a 30-year period.

[0170] Currently, routine vehicle management tasks, such as checking for counterfeit license plates and verifying vehicle color changes, still rely heavily on manual methods. Law enforcement officers complete the entire process by stopping vehicles on-site, checking vehicle documents, and verifying them through a platform. This process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, and can disrupt normal traffic flow, especially in high-traffic situations.

[0171] Similarly, in accident tracing, management departments also need to obtain license plate and vehicle details manually. However, when the vehicle is severely damaged (license plate and vehicle VIN code cannot be obtained) or the accident site is difficult to investigate (road collapse, vehicle fall), relying on traditional manual methods may not be able to complete the routine information acquisition and vehicle accident tracing work.

[0172] Therefore, a feasible solution is urgently needed to improve vehicle management efficiency.

[0173] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle management method, applied in the field of vehicle authentication technology, such as a vehicle management method in a scenario of applying for a digital identity and / or a vehicle management method in a scenario of using a digital identity. The core idea of ​​the vehicle management method provided in this application is to embed a chip or create a dedicated environment in a first vehicle, and store information related to the first vehicle (such as vehicle identification number, device certificates of components on the first vehicle, digital identity, etc.) in the chip or dedicated environment, so that when necessary, the relevant information of the first vehicle can be read wirelessly to quickly complete the verification of vehicle cloning, color change registration, etc., thereby improving vehicle management efficiency.

[0174] Generally, this chip can be mounted on an in-vehicle terminal. When assigning a digital identity to the first vehicle, it is necessary to ensure the correct binding relationship between the digital identity and the first vehicle (to prevent unauthorized vehicles from obtaining legitimate digital identities), and when using the digital identity, it is also necessary to prevent the digital identity from being misused (to prevent unauthorized vehicles from using legitimate digital identities).

[0175] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle management method provided in an embodiment of this application. This vehicle management method is applied in the field of vehicle authentication technology, such as vehicle management and / or vehicle management in scenarios involving digital identity applications or digital identity usage.

[0176] Specifically, the vehicle management method is applied to a vehicle management system, which includes a first vehicle and management equipment. Optionally, the vehicle management system may also include a first vehicle factory. The vehicle management method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0177] S101: The first vehicle manufacturer sends a first message to the first vehicle, and the first vehicle receives the first message accordingly.

[0178] The first message includes the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate.

[0179] It is understood that the first vehicle identification number (VIN) is a VIN assigned to the first vehicle by the first vehicle manufacturer, which is the manufacturer that produces the first vehicle. Optionally, the first VIN may be written into all or some of the important components of the first vehicle; for example, the first VIN may be written into a first component.

[0180] Understandably, the first certificate includes the equipment certificate corresponding to the first component of the first vehicle. This first certificate is issued by the first vehicle manufacturer based on its root certificate, indicating that the first component in the first vehicle is manufactured by the first vehicle manufacturer. Therefore, this first certificate can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first component. Optionally, this first certificate can be written into the first component.

[0181] It is understandable that there is a first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate. Since the equipment certificate issued by the vehicle manufacturer to each component in the vehicle is unique, this first correspondence is also unique. Therefore, the first correspondence can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle. Optionally, this first correspondence can be maintained by the first vehicle manufacturer.

[0182] Optionally, after receiving the first message, the first vehicle writes the first certificate in the first message into the first component, and writes the first vehicle identification number in the first message into all or part of the important components (e.g., the first component) in the first vehicle.

[0183] Optionally, the first component may include an in-vehicle terminal, such as a telematics box (T-Box), and may also include an in-vehicle interactive system, such as an in-vehicle infotainment system (IVI). Optionally, the first component may also be other in-vehicle components with high security, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0184] Optionally, step S101 can be performed when the first vehicle is produced at the first vehicle factory.

[0185] S102: The management device sends a second message to the first vehicle, and the first vehicle receives the second message accordingly.

[0186] The second message is used to request vehicle information of the first vehicle.

[0187] Optionally, the vehicle information of the first vehicle requested by the second message includes, but is not limited to: the first vehicle identification number assigned to the first vehicle by the first vehicle manufacturer, the first certificate issued by the first vehicle manufacturer to the first component of the first vehicle based on the first vehicle manufacturer's root certificate, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0188] Understandably, in a scenario where the first vehicle applies for a digital identity from the management device (management department), the management device sends the second message to the first vehicle, requesting to obtain the vehicle information of the first vehicle to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0189] S103: The first vehicle sends a third message to the management device, and the management device receives the third message accordingly.

[0190] The third message includes the aforementioned first vehicle identification number and first certificate.

[0191] Optionally, the above steps S102 to S103 can be performed when the first vehicle applies for a digital identity from the management device (management department).

[0192] Understandably, since the first vehicle identification number (VIN) is unique, the first certificate is also unique, and the first correspondence between the first VIN and the first certificate is also unique, in the scenario where the first vehicle applies for a digital identity from the management equipment (management department), the first certificate of the first component of the first vehicle and the first VIN of the first vehicle can be used as credentials when applying for a digital identity to ensure the binding relationship between the first component of the first vehicle and the vehicle (or the first VIN). Thus, the legitimacy of the first vehicle can be verified by using the first correspondence between the first VIN and the first certificate.

[0193] It is understood that the management device in this application embodiment may be a device equipped with a processor / chip that can execute computer execution instructions, or it may be a processor / chip that can execute computer execution instructions. Optionally, the management device may be an electronic device, or it may be a processor / chip within an electronic device, used to execute the vehicle management method in this application embodiment to improve vehicle management efficiency.

[0194] It is understood that the first vehicle in this application embodiment may be a device equipped with a processor / chip that can execute computer execution instructions, or it may be a processor / chip that can execute computer execution instructions. Optionally, the first vehicle may be an electronic device, or it may be a processor / chip within an electronic device, used to execute the vehicle management method in this application embodiment to improve vehicle management efficiency.

[0195] Optionally, the first vehicle, management device, and vehicle management method in the embodiments of this application can be applied to, but are not limited to, in-vehicle systems. The vehicle equipped with the in-vehicle system is an intelligent driving vehicle and can be replaced by a terminal device. The terminal device can be, but is not limited to, vehicles such as commercial vehicles, passenger cars, trains, industrial vehicles (such as forklifts, trailers, tractors, etc.), engineering vehicles (such as excavators, bulldozers, cranes, etc.), robots, etc. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this.

[0196] In the scenario where a first vehicle applies for a digital identity from a management device (management department) through the embodiments of this application, the first vehicle, the management device, and the first vehicle manufacturer in the vehicle management system interact with each other via messages. When the first vehicle receives a second message from the management device requesting to obtain the vehicle information of the first vehicle, it can send a third message to the management device. The first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate included in the third message is unique. The first certificate of the first component of the first vehicle and the first vehicle identification number of the first vehicle can be used as credentials when applying for a digital identity, ensuring the binding relationship between the first component of the first vehicle and the vehicle (or the first vehicle identification number). Thus, the legitimacy of the first vehicle can be verified by using the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate. Moreover, the entire verification process does not require a large amount of manual work, thereby realizing intelligent vehicle verification and improving vehicle management efficiency.

[0197] In one possible embodiment, the vehicle management method described above may also perform the following steps, including but not limited to:

[0198] S104: The management device verifies the legitimacy of the first certificate based on the root certificate of the first vehicle manufacturer, and verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle based on the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate.

[0199] Optionally, the verification scenario could be the verification of the legality of the first vehicle when a user applies for a license plate (or applies for a digital identity) with the vehicle management department after purchasing the first vehicle.

[0200] Understandably, since the first certificate is issued based on the root certificate of the first vehicle manufacturer, the management equipment can verify the legitimacy of the first certificate based on the root certificate of the first vehicle manufacturer.

[0201] Optionally, the root certificate of the first car manufacturer can be stored in the management device in advance, or it can be sent to the management device when there is a verification requirement. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0202] It is understandable that, since the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate is unique, the management device can verify the correctness of the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate by interacting with the first vehicle manufacturer.

[0203] Optionally, when the first vehicle manufacturer produces the first vehicle, it can simultaneously register the first vehicle identification number, the first certificate, and the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate with the management equipment, so that the management equipment can verify the correctness of the first correspondence.

[0204] Optionally, the management device can also query the first vehicle manufacturer when there is a verification requirement to confirm the correctness of the first vehicle identification number, the first certificate, and the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0205] Alternatively, the verification results of the management equipment can be categorized into the following types:

[0206] Scenario 1:

[0207] The management equipment verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle after verifying that the first certificate is valid and the first correspondence is correct.

[0208] Understandably, if the management equipment verifies the legitimacy of the first certificate and the correctness of the first correspondence, it can determine that the first component in the first vehicle is a legitimate component manufactured by the original manufacturer of the first vehicle and has not been illegally modified, thus verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0209] Scenario 2:

[0210] If the management device verifies that the first certificate is invalid or the first correspondence is incorrect, it will verify that the first vehicle is invalid.

[0211] Understandably, if the management equipment verifies that the first certificate is invalid or the first correspondence is incorrect, it can determine that the first component in the first vehicle is not a legitimate component manufactured by the original manufacturer of the first vehicle and may have undergone illegal operations such as modification or replacement, thus verifying that the first vehicle is invalid.

[0212] In the scenario where a first vehicle applies for a digital identity from a management device (management department) through the embodiments of this application, the first certificate of the first component of the first vehicle and the first vehicle identification number of the first vehicle can be used as credentials when applying for a digital identity. This verifies the legality of the first component of the first vehicle while ensuring the binding relationship between the first component of the first vehicle and the vehicle (or the first vehicle identification number), thereby verifying the legality of the first vehicle.

[0213] In one possible embodiment, the vehicle management method described above may also perform the following steps, including but not limited to:

[0214] S105: The management device sends a first digital identity to the first vehicle, and the first vehicle receives the first digital identity accordingly.

[0215] Understandably, when the management device verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle, it issues a first digital identity to the first vehicle based on the root certificate of the management device. This first digital identity proves the legitimacy of the first vehicle and can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle after it obtains a legal license plate and is driven on the road.

[0216] Optionally, the first message may also include the root certificate for managing the device.

[0217] Optionally, the root certificate of the management device can be pre-stored in the first vehicle manufacturer. The first vehicle manufacturer sends the root certificate of the management device to the first vehicle through the aforementioned first message. Alternatively, the root certificate of the management device can be sent to the first vehicle when the first vehicle needs to verify its digital identity. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0218] Optionally, the above vehicle management method may also include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0219] The first vehicle verifies the legitimacy of the first digital identity based on the root certificate of the management device.

[0220] The first vehicle writes the first digital identity after verifying its legitimacy.

[0221] Understandably, when the first vehicle applies for a digital identity from the management device and obtains a first digital identity issued by the management device, the first vehicle can also verify the legitimacy of the first digital identity based on the root certificate of the management device, and then write the first digital identity into the system after verifying its legitimacy.

[0222] The embodiments of this application can verify the legitimacy of the institution that issues the first digital identity and ensure the security of vehicle information.

[0223] Optionally, the aforementioned first digital identity and / or first vehicle identification number may be stored in the first component.

[0224] It is understood that the aforementioned first digital identity and / or first vehicle identification number is stored in the first component, which can bind the first component and the first vehicle, so that the legality of the first vehicle can be verified by verifying the binding relationship between the first certificate and the first vehicle identification number during the digital identity application stage, and the legality of the first vehicle can be verified by verifying the binding relationship between the first digital identity and the first vehicle identification number during the digital identity usage stage.

[0225] Optionally, there is a second correspondence between the first digital identity and the first vehicle identification number, which can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0226] Understandably, since the digital identity issued to each vehicle by the management device is unique, the second correspondence is also unique. Therefore, during the digital identity usage phase, the second correspondence can be used to verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle. Optionally, this second correspondence can be maintained by the management device.

[0227] In one possible embodiment, the vehicle management method described above may also perform the following steps, including but not limited to:

[0228] S106: The management device sends a fourth message to the first vehicle, and the first vehicle receives the fourth message accordingly.

[0229] The fourth message is used to request management of the first vehicle.

[0230] Understandably, in the scenario where the first vehicle obtains a valid license plate (a valid digital identity) and starts driving on the road, the management device sends this fourth message to the first vehicle, requesting management of the first vehicle on the road and verification of the first vehicle's legitimacy.

[0231] S107: The first vehicle sends a fifth message to the management device, and the management device receives the fifth message accordingly.

[0232] The fifth message includes the aforementioned first digital identity and second vehicle identification number.

[0233] The second vehicle identification number is the vehicle identification number stored in the second component of the first vehicle, and the first component and the second component are different components in the first vehicle.

[0234] Optionally, steps S106 to S107 can be performed when the digital identity is used in a scenario where the first vehicle has obtained a valid digital identity and is being checked by the management equipment (management department).

[0235] Understandably, the first vehicle receives a fourth message from the management device and, in response, sends a fifth message to the management device. The legitimacy of the first vehicle is verified through this message interaction between the first vehicle and the management device. This verification process during the digital identity usage phase eliminates the need for extensive manual intervention, thus enabling intelligent vehicle verification and improving vehicle management efficiency. Furthermore, the fifth message sent by the first vehicle includes the second vehicle identification number stored in the second component of the first vehicle, rather than the first vehicle identification number stored in the first component.

[0236] By using the vehicle identification number stored in other components (other components different from the first component) as the reporting source when the first vehicle uses its digital identity, it is possible to prevent the original vehicle's legitimate digital identity from being used when the first component and / or the second component are replaced or modified. This ensures the binding relationship between the component storing the digital identity (the first component) and the vehicle when the first vehicle uses its digital identity, thereby enabling the verification of the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0237] Optionally, the second vehicle identification number in the fifth message of step S107 above can be obtained through methods including but not limited to the following:

[0238] Method 1:

[0239] The first vehicle responds to the fourth message and obtains the second vehicle identification number stored in the second component based on the pre-configured first strategy.

[0240] Understandably, the first vehicle does not directly report the first vehicle identification number stored in the first component. Instead, it reports a vehicle identification number stored in other components that are different from the first component, based on a pre-configured strategy. This can prevent the first vehicle from illegally replacing the first component and then using the legitimate digital identity of the original vehicle corresponding to the first component. It ensures the binding relationship between the component (first component) that stores the digital identity and the vehicle when the first vehicle uses the digital identity, thereby verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0241] Method 2:

[0242] The fourth message is also used to instruct the second component, and the first vehicle responds to the fourth message to retrieve the second vehicle identification number stored in the second component based on the instruction of the fourth message.

[0243] Understandably, the management device instructs the first vehicle to report the vehicle identification number stored in a component other than the first component (the second component). This can prevent the first vehicle from illegally replacing the first component and then using the legitimate digital identity of the original vehicle corresponding to the first component. It ensures the binding relationship between the component storing the digital identity (the first component) and the vehicle when the first vehicle uses its digital identity, thereby verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0244] In one possible embodiment, the vehicle management method described above may also perform the following steps, including but not limited to:

[0245] S108: The management device verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle based on the second correspondence between the first digital identity and the first vehicle identification number and the third correspondence between the first digital identity and the second vehicle identification number.

[0246] Optionally, the verification scenario can be the verification of the legitimacy of the first vehicle when it uses its digital identity for inspection by management equipment (management department) after obtaining a legitimate digital identity.

[0247] It is understandable that, since the first digital identity and the vehicle identification number of the first vehicle are unique, the management device can verify the legitimacy of the first vehicle based on the consistency of the second correspondence between the first digital identity and the first vehicle identification number and the third correspondence between the first digital identity and the second vehicle identification number.

[0248] Alternatively, the verification results of the management equipment can be categorized into the following types:

[0249] Scenario 1:

[0250] If the management equipment verifies that the second and third correspondences are the same, it verifies that the first vehicle is legitimate.

[0251] Understandably, if the management equipment verifies that the second and third correspondences are the same, it can determine that the first and second components in the first vehicle are legitimate components manufactured by the original manufacturer of the first vehicle and have not been illegally modified, thus verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0252] Scenario 2:

[0253] If the management equipment verifies that the second and third correspondences are different, it verifies that the first vehicle is illegal.

[0254] It is understandable that if the management equipment verifies that the second and third correspondences are different, it can determine that the first component and / or the second component in the first vehicle are not legitimate components originally manufactured by the first vehicle manufacturer, and may have undergone illegal operations such as modification or replacement, thus verifying that the first vehicle is illegal.

[0255] By using the vehicle identification number stored in other components (other components different from the first component) as the reporting source when the first vehicle uses its digital identity, it is possible to prevent the original vehicle's legitimate digital identity from being used when the first component and / or the second component are replaced or modified. This ensures the binding relationship between the component storing the digital identity (the first component) and the vehicle when the first vehicle uses its digital identity, thereby enabling the verification of the legitimacy of the first vehicle.

[0256] In one possible embodiment, the vehicle management method described above may also perform the following steps, including but not limited to:

[0257] S109: The management device sends a sixth message to the first vehicle, and the first vehicle receives the sixth message accordingly.

[0258] S110: The first vehicle responds to the sixth message, indicating whether the first vehicle is legitimate or illegitimate.

[0259] Understandably, after verifying the legitimacy of the first vehicle, the management device can send a sixth message to the first vehicle, indicating whether the first vehicle is legitimate or illegitimate. In response to the sixth message, the first vehicle can display whether the first vehicle is legitimate or illegitimate through the vehicle's infotainment system or a terminal device connected to the first vehicle, and prompt the user whether there is a security risk associated with the first vehicle.

[0260] This application also provides a vehicle management method, as detailed in Figure 2, which is a flowchart illustrating another vehicle management method provided in an embodiment of this application. This vehicle management method is applied in the field of vehicle authentication technology, such as vehicle management and / or vehicle management in scenarios involving digital identity applications or digital identity usage.

[0261] It is understood that the steps in the embodiments of this application can be regarded as reasonable modifications or supplements to the embodiments in FIG1 above; or, it is understood that the vehicle management method in the embodiments of this application can also be regarded as an embodiment that can be executed independently, and this application does not limit it.

[0262] It is understood that the vehicle management system involved in the vehicle management method provided in this application embodiment can refer to the relevant description of the vehicle management system involved in the vehicle management method shown in Figure 1 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0263] Specifically, the vehicle management method is applied to a vehicle management system, which includes a first vehicle and management equipment. Optionally, the vehicle management system may also include a first vehicle factory. The vehicle management method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0264] S201: The first vehicle manufacturer sends a first message to the first vehicle, and the first vehicle receives the first message accordingly.

[0265] The description is consistent with the above step S101, and will not be repeated here.

[0266] Optionally, step S201 can be performed when the first vehicle is produced at the first vehicle factory.

[0267] S202: The management device sends a second message to the first vehicle, and the first vehicle receives the second message accordingly.

[0268] The description is consistent with the above step S202, and will not be repeated here.

[0269] S203: The first vehicle sends a third message to the management device, and the management device receives the third message accordingly.

[0270] The description is consistent with the above-mentioned step S203, and will not be repeated here.

[0271] S204: The management device verifies the legitimacy of the first certificate based on the root certificate of the first vehicle manufacturer, and verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle based on the first correspondence between the first vehicle identification number and the first certificate.

[0272] The description is consistent with that of step S204 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0273] S205: The management device sends a first digital identity to the first vehicle, and the first vehicle receives the first digital identity accordingly.

[0274] The description is consistent with that of step S205 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0275] Optionally, steps S202 to S205 can be performed when the first vehicle applies for a digital identity from the management device (management department) (i.e., the digital identity application stage).

[0276] S206: The management device sends a fourth message to the first vehicle, and the first vehicle receives the fourth message accordingly.

[0277] The description is consistent with the above-mentioned step S206, and will not be repeated here.

[0278] S207: The first vehicle sends a fifth message to the management device, and the management device receives the fifth message accordingly.

[0279] The description is consistent with the above-mentioned step S207, and will not be repeated here.

[0280] S208: The management device verifies the legitimacy of the first vehicle based on the second correspondence between the first digital identity and the first vehicle identification number and the third correspondence between the first digital identity and the second vehicle identification number.

[0281] The description is consistent with the above step S208, and will not be repeated here.

[0282] S209: The management device sends a sixth message to the first vehicle, and the first vehicle receives the sixth message accordingly.

[0283] The description is consistent with that of step S209 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0284] S210: The first vehicle responds to the sixth message, indicating whether the first vehicle is legitimate or illegitimate.

[0285] The description is consistent with that of step S210 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0286] Optionally, steps S206 to S210 can be performed when the digital identity is used in a scenario where the first vehicle has obtained a valid digital identity and is being checked by the management equipment (management department) (i.e., the digital identity usage stage).

[0287] In the scenario where a first vehicle applies for a digital identity from a management device (management department), the first certificate of the first component of the first vehicle and the first vehicle identification number (VIN) of the first vehicle can be used as credentials for applying for a digital identity. This verifies the legality of the first component of the first vehicle while ensuring the binding relationship between the first component and the vehicle (or the first VIN), thereby verifying the legality of the first vehicle. Furthermore, when the first vehicle uses its digital identity for inspection by the management device (management department) after obtaining a legitimate digital identity, the VIN stored in other components (other than the first component) can be used as the reporting source when the first vehicle uses its digital identity. This prevents the use of the original vehicle's legitimate digital identity when the first component and / or the second component are replaced or modified, ensuring the binding relationship between the component storing the digital identity (the first component) and the vehicle when the first vehicle uses its digital identity, thereby verifying the legality of the first vehicle. Moreover, the entire verification process does not rely heavily on manual methods, thus achieving intelligent vehicle verification and improving vehicle management efficiency.

[0288] This application also provides a vehicle management method, as detailed in Figure 3, which is a flowchart illustrating another vehicle management method provided in an embodiment of this application. This vehicle management method is applied in the field of vehicle authentication technology, such as vehicle management and / or vehicle management in scenarios involving digital identity application and / or digital identity usage.

[0289] It is understood that the steps in the embodiments of this application can be regarded as reasonable modifications or supplements to the embodiments in Figures 1 and 2 above; or, it is understood that the vehicle management method in the embodiments of this application can also be regarded as an embodiment that can be executed independently, and this application does not limit it.

[0290] Specifically, this vehicle management method is applied to a vehicle management system, which includes vehicle a, vehicle factory A, management device A, and management device B. It is understood that the vehicle management system involved in the vehicle management method provided in this application embodiment can refer to the relevant description of the vehicle management system involved in the vehicle management method shown in Figure 1 above; vehicle a involved in the vehicle management method provided in this application embodiment can refer to the relevant description of the first vehicle involved in the vehicle management method shown in Figure 1 above; vehicle factory A involved in the vehicle management method provided in this application embodiment can refer to the relevant description of the first vehicle factory involved in the vehicle management method shown in Figure 1 above; and management device A (which may be a computer device) and management device B (which may be a roadside device or a handheld device, etc., used to communicate with management device A and vehicle a) involved in the vehicle management method provided in this application embodiment can refer to the relevant description of the management device involved in the vehicle management method shown in Figure 1 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0291] The vehicle management method is mainly divided into the vehicle production stage, the digital identity application stage, and the digital identity usage stage.

[0292] The vehicle production stage includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0293] Step 1a: Car factory A saves and manages the root certificate of device A.

[0294] Optionally, the root certificate of the management device A can be found in the relevant description of "root certificate of management device" in step S105 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0295] Step 1b: Manage device A to save the root certificate of vehicle manufacturer A.

[0296] Optionally, the root certificate of vehicle manufacturer A can be found in the relevant description of "root certificate of the first vehicle manufacturer" in step S104 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0297] Step 2: Vehicle manufacturer A assigns a VINa to vehicle a and maintains the correspondence between the VINa and equipment certificate a.

[0298] During the vehicle production phase, vehicle manufacturer A assigns a VINa to vehicle a, records, saves, and maintains the correspondence between the VINa and the equipment certificates of each component (e.g., equipment certificate a for component T-Box).

[0299] Optionally, the VINa can refer to the relevant description of "first vehicle identification number" in step S101 above, the component T-Box can refer to the relevant description of "first component" in step S101 above, and the device certificate a can refer to the relevant description of "first certificate" in step S101 above. These details will not be repeated here.

[0300] Step 3: Vehicle manufacturer A sends VINa, device certificate a, and root certificate of management device A to vehicle a. Accordingly, vehicle a receives the VINa, device certificate a, and root certificate of management device A.

[0301] Vehicle manufacturer A writes information to components (such as T-Boxes) in vehicle a on the production line. The information written includes, but is not limited to, VINa, the device certificate a of component T-Box, and the root certificate of management device A saved by vehicle manufacturer A in step 1a.

[0302] Step 4 (optional): Vehicle manufacturer A files VINa and equipment certificate a.

[0303] Vehicle manufacturer A transmits the VINa and component T-Box equipment certificate a to management device A (management platform) as the basis for management device A to issue the digital identity of vehicle a.

[0304] Optionally, the component in this application embodiment takes the vehicle terminal T-Box as an example. In reality, only the device certificate of the component carrying the chip / dedicated environment needs to be transmitted. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0305] Optionally, step 4 above is an optional execution step, and either step 4 above or step 8 below can be performed. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0306] The digital identity application process includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0307] Step 5: Management device B sends a vehicle information read message to vehicle a, and vehicle a receives the vehicle information read message accordingly.

[0308] When vehicle A is registered, the management department (management device A and management device B) can assign a digital identity to vehicle A. Before this, the management department will first obtain the necessary information of vehicle A. Optionally, this step can be performed by the management department through a dedicated handheld device (management device B) to read the vehicle information.

[0309] Optionally, the vehicle information reading message can be referred to the relevant description of "second message" in step S102 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0310] Step 6: Vehicle a sends a vehicle information response message to management device B. The vehicle information response message includes VINa and device certificate a. Accordingly, management device B receives the vehicle information response message.

[0311] After receiving the vehicle information read message sent by the handheld device (management device B), vehicle a responds by sending the VINa and the device certificate a of the component T-Box (assuming the component carrying the chip / dedicated environment is the vehicle terminal T-Box) to the handheld device. The device certificate a of the component T-Box is verified by the root certificate of vehicle manufacturer A.

[0312] Optionally, the vehicle information response message can be referred to the relevant description of "third message" in step S103 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0313] Step 7: Management device B interacts with management device A to obtain digital identity a.

[0314] The handheld device (management device B) interacts with the management platform (management device A) to obtain the digital identity a of vehicle a.

[0315] Step 8 (optional): The management device A interacts with the vehicle manufacturer A to confirm the binding relationship between VINa and device certificate a.

[0316] It is understandable that if step 4 above is not performed, then step 8 will be performed; otherwise, step 8 can be skipped.

[0317] Understandably, in step 8, the management platform (management device A) interacts with vehicle manufacturer A to confirm that the VINa and component T-Box equipment certificate a reported by vehicle a in step 6 are consistent with the information maintained by vehicle manufacturer A (i.e., vehicle a has not undergone unauthorized component replacement).

[0318] Step 9: Manage device A to maintain the correspondence between VINa, device certificate a, and digital identity a.

[0319] The management platform (managing device A) records, saves, and maintains the correspondence between VINa, device certificate a, and digital identity a.

[0320] Step 10: Management device B writes digital identity a to vehicle a, and vehicle a receives the digital identity a accordingly.

[0321] The handheld device (management device B) writes digital identity a into the chip / dedicated environment of vehicle a, and the legitimacy of digital identity a is verified by the root certificate of management device B.

[0322] The use of digital identity includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0323] Step 11: Management device B sends a vehicle management message to vehicle a, and vehicle a receives the vehicle management message accordingly.

[0324] Assuming that roadside facilities are deployed at key locations such as intersections to interact with stored digital identity chips / dedicated environments, management device B (roadside facility) sends vehicle management messages to vehicle a.

[0325] Optionally, the vehicle management message can be referred to the relevant description of "Fourth Message" in step S106 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0326] Step 12: Vehicle a obtains the VINs of other components based on the configuration strategy and identifies them as VIN'.

[0327] Because the vehicle terminal T-Box stores the VINa and digital identity 'a', if this vehicle terminal T-Box is replaced in, for example, a vehicle b of the same brand and model, vehicle b can directly report the stored VINa and digital identity 'a', and the roadside infrastructure will not recognize that vehicle b has performed an unauthorized replacement operation. Similarly, if the vehicle terminal IVI of another vehicle c of the same brand and model stores a valid VIN and digital identity, and this vehicle terminal IVI from vehicle c is replaced in vehicle a, vehicle a can directly report the VIN and digital identity stored in the vehicle terminal IVI, and the roadside infrastructure will not recognize that vehicle a has performed an unauthorized replacement operation.

[0328] Therefore, vehicle a can obtain its stored VIN from other components based on a pre-configured strategy (such as obtaining it from a fixed component or randomly obtaining it from a component), and determine the VIN' to be reported later based on the obtained VIN (if the obtained VIN is the same as the VINa stored in the vehicle terminal T-Box, then VIN' is the obtained VIN or the VINa stored in the vehicle terminal; otherwise, VIN' is the obtained VIN).

[0329] Step 13: Vehicle a sends a vehicle management response message to management device B. The vehicle management response message includes digital identity a and VIN'. Accordingly, management device B receives the vehicle management response message.

[0330] Vehicle a sends its digital identity a and VIN' to the roadside facility (management device B).

[0331] Optionally, the vehicle management response message can be referred to the relevant description of "Fifth Message" in step S107 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0332] Step 14: Management device B sends a vehicle management confirmation message to vehicle a, and vehicle a receives the vehicle management confirmation message accordingly.

[0333] The roadside facility (management device B) determines the correspondence between digital identity a and VIN' based on the information maintained by the management department platform (management device A), and returns a confirmation message to vehicle a (management device A can quickly identify problematic vehicles and manage them).

[0334] Optionally, the vehicle management confirmation message can be found in the description of the "Sixth Message" in step S109 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0335] Step 15: Vehicle A's infotainment system displays an illegal parts replacement message.

[0336] Vehicle A may choose to provide a notification or not based on the message returned by the roadside facility (management equipment B). If the message returned by the roadside facility (management equipment B) indicates that vehicle A has engaged in unauthorized parts replacement, vehicle A should notify vehicle A of the unauthorized parts replacement through the vehicle's infotainment system or other means.

[0337] Through the embodiments of this application, in the scenario where vehicle a applies for a digital identity from management device A and management device B (management department), the device certificate a of the component T-Box of vehicle a and the VINa of vehicle a can be used as credentials when applying for a digital identity. This verifies the legality of the component T-Box of vehicle a and ensures the binding relationship between the component T-Box and vehicle a (or VINa), thereby verifying the legality of vehicle a. Furthermore, when vehicle a uses the digital identity a after obtaining a legal digital identity a for verification by management device A and management device B (management department), the VIN' stored in other components (other components different from the first component, such as IVI) can be used as the reporting source when vehicle a uses the digital identity a. This prevents the original legal digital identity a of vehicle a from being used when the component T-Box and / or component IVI are replaced or modified, ensuring the binding relationship between the component storing the digital identity a (component T-Box) and vehicle a, thereby verifying the legality of vehicle a. Furthermore, the entire verification process does not require extensive manual intervention, thus enabling intelligent vehicle verification and improving vehicle management efficiency.

[0338] This application also provides a vehicle management method, as detailed in Figure 4, which is a flowchart illustrating another vehicle management method provided in an embodiment of this application. This vehicle management method is applied in the field of vehicle authentication technology, such as vehicle management and / or vehicle management in scenarios involving digital identity application and / or digital identity usage.

[0339] It is understood that the steps in the embodiments of this application can be regarded as reasonable modifications or supplements to the embodiments in Figures 1, 2 and 3 above; or, it is understood that the vehicle management method in the embodiments of this application can also be regarded as an embodiment that can be executed independently, and this application does not limit it.

[0340] Specifically, this vehicle management method is applied to a vehicle management system, which includes vehicle a, vehicle factory A, management device A, and management device B. It is understood that the vehicle management system involved in the vehicle management method provided in this application embodiment can refer to the relevant description of the vehicle management system involved in the vehicle management method shown in Figure 1 above; vehicle a involved in the vehicle management method provided in this application embodiment can refer to the relevant description of the first vehicle involved in the vehicle management method shown in Figure 1 above; vehicle factory A involved in the vehicle management method provided in this application embodiment can refer to the relevant description of the first vehicle factory involved in the vehicle management method shown in Figure 1 above; and management device A (which may be a computer device) and management device B (which may be a roadside device or a handheld device, etc., used to communicate with management device A and vehicle a) involved in the vehicle management method provided in this application embodiment can refer to the relevant description of the management device involved in the vehicle management method shown in Figure 1 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0341] The vehicle management method is mainly divided into the vehicle production stage, the digital identity application stage, and the digital identity usage stage.

[0342] The vehicle production stage includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0343] Step 1a: Car factory A saves and manages the root certificate of device A.

[0344] The steps are the same as those in step 1a in Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0345] Step 1b: Manage device A to save the root certificate of vehicle manufacturer A.

[0346] The steps are the same as step 1b in Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0347] Step 2: Vehicle manufacturer A assigns a VINa to vehicle a and maintains the correspondence between the VINa and equipment certificate a.

[0348] The steps are the same as step 2 in Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0349] Step 3: Vehicle manufacturer A sends VINa, device certificate a, and root certificate of management device A to vehicle a. Accordingly, vehicle a receives the VINa, device certificate a, and root certificate of management device A.

[0350] The steps are the same as step 3 in Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0351] Step 4 (optional): Vehicle manufacturer A files VINa and equipment certificate a.

[0352] The steps are the same as step 4 in Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0353] The digital identity application process includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0354] Step 5: Management device B sends a vehicle information read message to vehicle a, and vehicle a receives the vehicle information read message accordingly.

[0355] The steps are the same as step 5 in Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0356] Step 6: Vehicle a sends a vehicle information response message to management device B. The vehicle information response message includes VINa and device certificate a. Accordingly, management device B receives the vehicle information response message.

[0357] The steps are the same as step 6 in Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0358] Step 7: Management device B interacts with management device A to obtain digital identity a.

[0359] The steps are the same as step 7 in Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0360] Step 8 (optional): The management device A interacts with the vehicle manufacturer A to confirm the binding relationship between VINa and device certificate a.

[0361] The steps are the same as step 8 in Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0362] Step 9: Manage device A to maintain the correspondence between VINa, device certificate a, and digital identity a.

[0363] The steps are the same as step 9 in Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0364] Step 10: Management device B writes digital identity a to vehicle a, and vehicle a receives the digital identity a accordingly.

[0365] The steps are the same as in step 10 of Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0366] The use of digital identity includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0367] Step 11: Management device B sends a vehicle management message to vehicle a, which includes instruction information. Accordingly, vehicle a receives the vehicle management message.

[0368] Assuming that roadside facilities for interacting with stored digital identity chips / dedicated environments are deployed at key locations such as intersections, management device B (roadside facility) sends a vehicle management message to vehicle a. This vehicle management message carries instruction information, which instructs vehicle a to determine in step 12 which component to retrieve its stored VIN.

[0369] Optionally, the vehicle management message can be referred to the relevant description of "Fourth Message" in step S106 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0370] Step 12: Vehicle a obtains the VINs of other components based on the configuration strategy and identifies them as VIN'.

[0371] Because the vehicle terminal T-Box stores the VINa and digital identity 'a', if this vehicle terminal T-Box is replaced in, for example, a vehicle b of the same brand and model, vehicle b can directly report the stored VINa and digital identity 'a', and the roadside infrastructure will not recognize that vehicle b has performed an unauthorized replacement operation. Similarly, if the vehicle terminal IVI of another vehicle c of the same brand and model stores a valid VIN and digital identity, and this vehicle terminal IVI from vehicle c is replaced in vehicle a, vehicle a can directly report the VIN and digital identity stored in the vehicle terminal IVI, and the roadside infrastructure will not recognize that vehicle a has performed an unauthorized replacement operation.

[0372] Therefore, vehicle a can determine, based on the instruction information included in the received vehicle management message, to obtain the VIN stored in the corresponding component (such as the instruction information indicating that it is obtained from a certain component), and determine the VIN' to be reported subsequently based on the obtained VIN (if the obtained VIN is the same as the VINa stored in the vehicle terminal T-Box, then VIN' is the obtained VIN or the VINa stored in the vehicle terminal; otherwise, VIN' is the obtained VIN).

[0373] Step 13: Vehicle a sends a vehicle management response message to management device B. The vehicle management response message includes digital identity a and VIN'. Accordingly, management device B receives the vehicle management response message.

[0374] The steps are the same as in step 13 of Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0375] Step 14: Management device B sends a vehicle management confirmation message to vehicle a, and vehicle a receives the vehicle management confirmation message accordingly.

[0376] The steps are the same as in step 14 of Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0377] Step 15: Vehicle A's infotainment system displays an illegal parts replacement message.

[0378] The steps are the same as in step 15 of Figure 3 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0379] Through the embodiments of this application, in the scenario where vehicle a applies for a digital identity from management device A and management device B (management department), the device certificate a of the component T-Box of vehicle a and the VINa of vehicle a can be used as credentials when applying for a digital identity. This verifies the legality of the component T-Box of vehicle a and ensures the binding relationship between the component T-Box and vehicle a (or VINa), thereby verifying the legality of vehicle a. Furthermore, when vehicle a uses the digital identity a after obtaining a legal digital identity a for verification by management device A and management device B (management department), the VIN' stored in other components (other components different from the first component, such as IVI) can be used as the reporting source when vehicle a uses the digital identity a. This prevents the original legal digital identity a of vehicle a from being used when the component T-Box and / or component IVI are replaced or modified, ensuring the binding relationship between the component storing the digital identity a (component T-Box) and vehicle a, thereby verifying the legality of vehicle a. Furthermore, the entire verification process does not require extensive manual intervention, thus enabling intelligent vehicle verification and improving vehicle management efficiency.

[0380] The methods of the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. The following provides an apparatus for implementing any one of the methods in the embodiments of this application. For example, an apparatus is provided that includes a unit (or means) for implementing the steps performed by the device in any of the above methods.

[0381] Please refer to Figure 5, which is a structural schematic diagram of a first vehicle provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0383] The communication unit 501 can implement sending and / or receiving functions, and can also be described as a transceiver unit.
